The National Testing Agency released the subject-wise schedule for the UGC-NET June 2026 examination, announcing that the test will be conducted in Computer-Based Test mode from June 22 to June 30, 2026. The schedule, released through a public notice, covers over 80 subjects spread across five examination days in two daily shifts. The exam will be held in two shifts each day — Shift one from 9 am to 12 noon, and Shift two from 3 pm to 6 pm.

NTA has said that the notification regarding exam city centre intimation will be displayed on its official website eight to ten days before the examination — meaning candidates appearing on June 22 can expect city allotment details by around June 12-14.
